The usual problem encountered with the original Porsche locks with the little key is you lose the key. Then you need to drill the lock apart. It is fine to use aftermarket wheel locks which frequently have an unusual nut design and you place the "key" over the nut then use a normal socket over that. Just make sure the nuts weigh approximately the same as your other nuts.

You should be aware that these locks will not stop a determined thief, even a not so determined thief. You just get a socket slightly smaller than the nut and bang the socket on with a hammer which locks it to the nut. Then remove as per normal.
